Curated by Andrew Stephens, You Are Cordially Invited explores 150 years of Melbourne Town Hall. This majestic building and surrounding spaces have hosted an extraordinary array of people and events since opening in August 1870.
The Town Hall remains vital in shaping the city's collective psyche - just as town halls around the world are centres for their own evolving cultures.
Through the building's corridors, glorious auditorium, council chambers and main frontages on Swanston and Collins streets, it has been the seat of governance, hot political debate and cultural activity.
With newly commissioned artwork by Patrick Pound, plus archival film, photographs and ephemera from the City of Melbourne's vast collection, this exhibition encompasses everything from the Queen and the Beatles to Aboriginal histories, war protests, parades and lavish festivities.
A major music commission using the Town Hall Grand Organ has also been undertaken for the exhibition, premiering in March 2021.
